Number sequence in X++

Posted on by Mav

I have successfully created NS using X++ code.

Only issue i m facing is that I cannot edit the segment of my NS so as to have format comprising of Company, Contant & Alphanumeric , instead my NS is only Alphanumeric & wont allow to add Company or constant in its segment. Please find my code for load module method shared below & kindly suggest a fix.

Also please note that whenever I chosee ParamWizardIsCOntinious as true , i get error & cant generate my NS. So wanted to check if there is any way to create continuous NS in X++ or by default we cant create Continuous NS in X++.

protected void loadModule()
    {
        NumberSeqDatatype datatype = NumberSeqDatatype::construct();

        datatype.parmDatatypeId(extendedTypeNum(Myenum));
        datatype.parmReferenceHelp(literalstr("my NS desc"));
        datatype.parmReferenceLabel(literalstr("my NS"));
        datatype.parmWizardIsManual(NoYes::No);
        datatype.parmWizardIsContinuous(false);
        datatype.parmWizardIsChangeDownAllowed(NoYes::No);
        datatype.parmWizardIsChangeUpAllowed(NoYes::No);
        datatype.parmWizardHighest(999999);
        datatype.parmSortField(1);

        this.create(datatype);

    }

How about adding some line of code, just before this.create(datatype);

datatype.addParameterType(NumberSeqParameterType::DataArea, true, false);

RE: Number sequence in X++

Added the above line of code, yet it wont let me edit the segments.

Pls refer pic below I can add new rows under segment but it wont let me enter Company or Constant or for that matter anything in Segment column.

RE: Number sequence in X++

Have you run the code? Have you switched the scope in the number sequence form?

RE: Number sequence in X++

Did ran the code & hence i can see my NS in my newly created module.

NS scope is shared & cant be edited.

RE: Number sequence in X++

Hi Mav,

You need to add a method to consume your newly created Number Sequence. That will return a number sequence reference object for that specific data type.
we are going to create a new extension class of CustParameters table.

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(CustParameters))] final class CustParameters_Extension { client server static NumberSequenceReference numRef() {
return NumberSeqReference::findReference(extendedTypeNum(Myenum));
} }

There is an example: https://daxbeginners.wordpress.com/2018/01/07/d365-ax7-how-to-create-number-sequence/

You can also refer to Microsoft Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamicsax-2012/developer/number-sequence-framework

You say that the fact that you see the number sequence proves that you've run your modified code, but it's not true. You saw the number sequence even before adding addParameterType(), therefore it proves that you ran the old code, but not necessarily the new code.

You may also need to delete NS elements that you created by your old code.

RE: Number sequence in X++

Thanks all for their replies.

Hi @Bluewang
I am already doing that pls check code below.

static NumberSequenceReference numrefmyNS() { return NumberSeqReference::findReference(extendedTypeNum(MYEDT)); }

Hi @Martin

I have deleted my NS from Orgadmin.

Recreated the NS with below code & unfortunately still cannot edit parameters so that I can add constant & company to my newly created NS.

Sharing full code below, please note I can see new module , My NS being populated in NS form, however still cant add constant & company to my newly created NS.

class Mynumseqmodule extends NumberSeqApplicationModule { protected void loadModule() { NumberSeqDatatype datatype = NumberSeqDatatype::construct(); /* Setup Myns number sequences */ datatype.parmDatatypeId(extendedTypeNum(MyEDITstring)); datatype.parmReferenceHelp(literalstr("MY NS")); datatype.parmReferenceLabel(literalstr("MY NS HELP")); datatype.parmWizardIsManual(NoYes::No); datatype.parmWizardIsContinuous(false); datatype.parmWizardIsChangeDownAllowed(NoYes::No); datatype.parmWizardIsChangeUpAllowed(NoYes::No); datatype.addParameterType(NumberSeqParameterType::DataArea, true, false); datatype.parmWizardHighest(999999); datatype.parmSortField(1); this.create(datatype); } [SubscribesTo(classStr(NumberSeqGlobal), delegateStr(NumberSeqGlobal, buildModulesMapDelegate))] static void buildModulesMapSubscriber(Map numberSeqModuleNamesMap) { NumberSeqGlobal::addModuleToMap(classNum(Mynumseqmodule ), numberSeqModuleNamesMap); } public NumberSeqModule numberSeqModule() { return NumberSeqModule::Mynseqmodule; } static NumberSequenceReference numrefMYNS() { return NumberSeqReference::findReference(extendedTypeNum(MyEDITstring)); } }

Hi Mav,

Probably a stupid question from me... Did you actually click the Edit button (top left) on the form? Can you change other fields on this number sequence record?

RE: Number sequence in X++

I still suspect that you have the old scope in NumberSequenceDatatype table. Can you check it, please?

You can use this piece of code:

int scopeMap = NumberSequenceDatatype::findByDatatypeId(extendedTypeNum(MyEDITstring)).ScopeType; List scope = NumberSeqScope::getParameterTypesForScopeType(scopeMap);
